Compare the air vent range
Return to the air vents range when AV13 needs to be compared with other venting routes for steam, liquid systems or clean steam.
Where AV13 fits in the range
AV13 is a model-level route inside air vents and air eliminators. It is useful when the specification already names AV13, or when a compact brass thermostatic air vent is being checked for a steam main or equipment high point.
Product facts
Available product material identifies AV13 as a maintainable balanced-pressure thermostatic air vent for steam systems. It has a brass body, angle connection, BSP or NPT threaded connections, PN16 design condition and a maximum operating pressure of 13 bar g.
The documented size range covers 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4". The selectable complete-unit rows on this page focus on 1/2" and 3/4", so final replacement should confirm the installed connection and duty.
